Cleveland (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Cleveland has missed the Jaguars' last two games due to an ankle injury. He was able to practice all week, albeit in a limited capacity, which has given him a chance to return Sunday. If Cleveland isn't able to play, Blake Hance will likely start at left guard for a second straight game.

Jaguars' Ezra Cleveland: Won't play against Minnesota
Rotowire
Cleveland (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Cleveland will be sidelined for a second straight game due to an ankle injury he picked up in Week 8 against the Jaguars. He has yet to practice since the injury, and he'll look to get right for Week 11 against the Lions.

Jaguars' Ezra Cleveland: Dealing with heel injury
Rotowire
Cleveland was limited in practice Monday due to a heel issue, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Given that he was allowed to practice in a limited capacity, it doesn't seem likely that Cleveland's injury is a threat to his status for the start of the regular season. The 26-year-old is slated to again be Jacksonville's starter at left guard in 2024.

Cleveland's contract includes $14.5 million guaranteed, and keeps a capable left guard around for Jacksonville for the foreseeable future. The Jaguars acquired Cleveland from the Vikings last season in a mid-season trade, and it's clear that the team always intended to re-sign him.

Jaguars' Ezra Cleveland: Forced out of Week 14 game
Rotowire
Cleveland (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Cleveland stepped in at left tackle in place of usual starter Walker Little (hamstring), as the latter was ruled inactive pregame. However, the 25-year-old, who typically starts at left guard, appears to have sustained a knee injury of his own at some point during the first half. As a result, the Jaguars will be forced to play without both starters on the left side of their offensive line for the time being. Expect either Blake Hance or Cole Van Lanen to fill in at left tackle.
